Chapter 540 Entering the Palace
Chapter 540 Entering the Palace
"I, I'll listen to you."
He pretended to be weak and stammered. His beautiful almond-shaped eyes were wet and he looked like a lamb that was unable to resist after being bullied.
Still a bit pitiful.
Tsk.
Old fox.
Although Lu Chihuan pretended to be cowardly and nervous, he nodded in agreement.
However, at this moment he couldn't help but complain about Marquis Nils in his heart. After all, although Marquis Nils was apparently asking him whether he agreed to enter the palace on behalf of his son Gray, in fact the other party did not give him any choice at all.
Check it out.
They used the life-saving grace to pressure him and even mentioned the medical bills he owed for treatment.
Not to mention that his injury was not serious at all.
Let’s say the doctor who treated him was sent by Marquis Nils, then the medical expenses incurred during the process... couldn’t Marquis Nils just make up an astronomical figure out of thin air?
of course.
Even if the medical expenses were an astronomical figure, with Lu Chihuan's current wealth, he could afford to pay it back.
but--
Marquis Nils, however, held on to his storage ring and fluorite jade, and had never mentioned them since he entered the door. He must be taking advantage of his "amnesia" and wanted to use these things to control him.
Anyway, he figured it out.
Even if there had been no life-saving grace and medical expenses, Marquis Nils would probably have thought of other ways to persuade his son to agree to attend the royal banquet this time for the sake of his son.
of course.
Lu Chihuan could now take out his weapon to intimidate Marquis Nils to let him go, or he could pretend to agree to Marquis Nils's request, and then find a good opportunity in the middle of the night to snatch back his storage ring and fluorite jade, and then slip away without anyone noticing.
However, Lu Chihuan had been thinking about finding an opportunity to go to the main star from the very beginning, and after entering the palace, look inside to see if there were any items containing energy that could be used by world consciousness.
Now Marquis Nils has this move.
It was exactly what he wanted.
He didn't have to rack his brains to think about how to get through the heavy guards to the palace. He just had to sit here and do nothing. Others would take care of everything else.
in a sense.
Marquis Nils can be said to have helped him.
As for whether Zhou Zhi would notice him if he attended the royal banquet, Lu Chihuan didn't think much about it. After all, Zhou Zhi was always cold and unkind, and he had no interest in love at all.
But the self in this world had accidentally drowned when he was a child. Zhou Zhi couldn't still be obsessed with him.
and.
Zhou Zhi is not on the main star now.
It is estimated that he may not show up on the day of the banquet, or he may just stay for a few minutes and then leave. In such a short time, Zhou Zhi probably would not be able to recognize him at first glance from the people attending the royal banquet.
"You are a sensible child."
Marquis Niels praised Lu Chihuan with satisfaction. He couldn't help but remind him, "You should stay here obediently for the next two days and learn some rules from the etiquette teacher. After all, if you make a fool of yourself in front of His Majesty the Emperor, it will also be a loss of face for our family."
At this point he paused.
After his eyes fell on the clothes on Lu Chihuan, he frowned again, "I will have someone customize your clothes, shoes, and accessories for you, so you can just throw away this piece of clothing."
"When the day comes to enter the palace, I will send someone to take you there."
"before this……"
"Please wait patiently."
Lu Chihuan's long and thick eyelashes trembled. He pursed his lips and hummed softly, pretending to be a soft-tempered person. He had almost no objection to what Marquis Nils said.
soon.
Marquis Nils was tired.
He waved his hand towards Lu Chihuan, and then spoke to the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, please take him back to his room. If there is anything he still doesn't understand, please explain it to him in detail."
Although the housekeeper disliked Lu Chihuan, he dared not disobey his master's orders.
He bowed respectfully.
The answer was, “Yes.”
Lu Chihuan followed the butler and left the study. When the door of the study closed, he heard the young master Gray complaining nervously, "Look at his stupid look. Is there really nothing wrong? I always feel a little nervous..."
"What are you afraid of!"
"Nothing will go wrong with me here. Besides, looking at his condition, he won't be able to escape from our control..."
After returning to the room.
Lu Chihuan discovered that even though he had agreed to Marquis Nils' request, the bodyguards at the door did not withdraw.
This is to guard against him.
But he didn't care. Instead, he pretended to be timid and nervous, and asked the butler what the so-called royal gathering was all about.
The butler looked unhappy.
But he still told Lu Chihuan everything he knew truthfully.
It’s similar to what Lu Chihuan guessed.
Since Zhou Zhi ascended to the supreme position, he has devoted all his attention to two things: quelling the rebellion and exterminating the Zerg.
He spent most of his time at work, and the men and women around him were not potential romantic partners for him, but rather slaves to be enslaved.
All of a sudden.
Zhou Zhi's mother, Mrs. Zhou, was very worried that her son would end up living alone.
She felt that it was not a good idea for her son to continue like this, and she would only feel at ease if her son had someone who understood her and was by his side.
So Madam Zhou decided to let men and women of appropriate age and with a certain status in the main star enter the palace to participate in the royal banquet she organized. She also used the banquet as an excuse to let Zhou Zhi meet young men and women openly to see if there was anyone he liked.
of course.
Zhou Zhi has a cold personality.
He never thought about finding a partner.
Therefore, he was not interested in blind date-type banquets, and of course would not agree with Mrs. Zhou's plan.
but.
He is not on the main planet now.
Mrs. Zhou had kept the fact that she was hosting a royal banquet a secret from him. She had already made up her mind that when the day of the banquet started, she would simply find an excuse to call Zhou Zhi back from outside.
Just catch him off guard.
It probably wouldn't be a problem for him to make a brief appearance at the party.
Ever since the news of Madam Zhou's plan to hold a royal banquet was released, all the nobles, big and small, on the main star have become active, and they are scrambling to get their children's names on the banquet list.
Although His Majesty the Emperor is not a good target, if your child is favored by His Majesty the Emperor, the benefits you will gain are real.
At first.
Marquis Nils also wanted to get involved and get a piece of the pie, but he didn't expect that his own son Gray was so reluctant to do so.
Gray's mother died young.
He loved Gray like the apple of his eye since he was a child, so after thinking it over again and again, he finally gave up this seemingly easy-to-obtain benefit with great reluctance.
however.
Their family's list has been submitted.
Marquis Nils was not sure whether the royal family would be angry if he temporarily withdrew his son's name. If he offended the Emperor, he would probably not be able to stay on the main planet in the future.
Therefore, I had no choice but to...
He had no choice but to look around for someone who could replace his son Gray to attend the royal banquet, but it took several days to finalize the candidate.
Marquis Niels believes that -
The person who attends the royal banquet on behalf of his son must not be too ambitious.
Otherwise, if the other party really had an affair with the Emperor, he might turn around and step on their family severely. He didn't want to make things difficult for others.
Secondly, it must be weak and easy to control.
Will not betray myself.
In this way, even if something went wrong in this matter, he could easily put the blame on the other party, and their son Gray would still be innocent.
It's not easy to find such a person.
Just when Marquis Nils was having a headache, he went out and found Lu Chihuan, who was lying on the ground unconscious for some reason and even had some minor injuries on his body.
What made him feel even more fortunate was that this person had lost his memory.
So lucky.
Maybe God is helping him.
and so.
Marquis Nils quickly decided to let Lu Chihuan attend the royal banquet in place of his son, and he made some arrangements before meeting Lu Chihuan.
For example, at the beginning, except for the doctor who treated him and the servant who delivered meals, no one was allowed to communicate with Lu Chihuan.
He was deliberately leaving Lu Chihuan alone.
After all, when a person loses his memory, he is like a blank sheet of paper.
After waking up in an unfamiliar environment, people will feel nervous and resistant. However, as long as someone shows kindness to them at this time, the other person will become dependent on them, thus producing an effect similar to the fledgling effect.
Marquis Nils wanted to control Lu Chihuan by using both kindness and force, so he had a kind smile on his face when he was talking to him just now, and occasionally gave him a beating and then a sweet treat.
Unfortunately.
Lu Chihuan did not lose his memory.
Therefore, all of Marquis Nils's methods were ineffective against him.
of course.
The butler did not take the initiative to tell Lu Chihuan about the second half of Marquis Nils's mental journey. As Marquis Nils's servant, it was impossible for him to presume to guess his master's thoughts.
It’s just that Lu Chihuan is smart.
So from the few words he leaked, I could quickly guess the general situation.
only.
Because he kept asking questions to the housekeeper, the housekeeper was already a little impatient. He looked at Lu Chihuan suspiciously, "Why are you asking so many questions?"
“Remember who you are.”
"You are just attending the royal banquet on behalf of our young master. Just keep a low profile. After all, knowing so many things is useless to you."
Speaking of it.
He glanced at Lu Chihuan from head to toe, his eyes slightly critical, "Your face is the only good-looking thing on your body, but His Majesty the Emperor is not a superficial person, there is absolutely no way he would like you."
"I think you should just give up on this idea."
Lu Chihuan: ...
Tsk.
Isn’t Zhou Zhi superficial?
Does the butler have any unrealistic misunderstanding of Zhou Zhi?
Do you really think Zhou Zhi is a saint?
And what does it mean that Zhou Zhi would never fall in love with him? You have to know that in the main world and his own world, Zhou Zhi has confessed to him countless times.
Honestly.
